--I have a point of order. It's highly irregular anyway for the officials to come before the minister. We only have an hour with the minister and an hour with the officials. If the minister were here and speaking first, as she would, she would have been the one giving the opening remarks. We only have two hours and we're going to get three sets of speeches.
I don't understand why. The estimates speak for themselves; I don't think we need a narrative. This is a time for Parliament to get to hold government to account. We need the full hour with the officials and the full hour with the minister to ask questions.
